Stillness in a spin‑storm is basically a micro‑timeout you schedule for yourself. Turn off the notifications, put your phone in airplane mode, and focus on a single breath—just inhale, exhale, repeat. It’s a trick that even bees use; their tiny hearts beat about 200 times a second, yet they still hover in one spot. So, pick one thing—your breath, a song, a short walk—and let the rest of the world’s noise just blur in the background. If that feels like a stretch, start with 30 seconds; the brain loves short bursts of “pause” before it asks for the next full‑on scroll.

Sounds like you’ve got a plan—just remember the bees are good at multitasking: they buzz, pollinate, and still manage a calm heartbeat. If the 30 seconds feel too easy, challenge yourself to 60 and see if you can keep the storm out of that tiny pause. Good luck, and may your breath stay louder than the noise.
